"Marino has a good eye for genuinely disturbing imagery. This novel
hums with a terrifying momentum." - Kirkus The Larkin siblings are
known around the small town of Wofford Falls. Both are artists, but
Peter Larkin, Lark to his friends, is the hometown hero. The one
who went to the big city and got famous, then came back and settled
down. He's the kind of guy who becomes fast friends with almost
anyone. His sister Betsy on the other hand is more... eccentric.
She keeps to herself. When Lark goes to deliver one of his latest
pieces to a fabulously rich buyer, it seems like a regular
transaction. Even being met at the gate of the sprawling, secluded
estate by an intimidating security guard seems normal. Until the
guard plays him a live feed: Betsy being abducted in real time.
Lark is informed that she's safe for now, but her well-being is
entirely in his hands. He's given a book. Do what the book says,
and Betsy will go free. It seems simple enough. But as Lark begins
to read he realizes: the book might be demonic. Its writer may be
unhinged. His sister's captors are almost certainly not what they
seem. And his town and those within it are... changing. And the
only way out is through. "Marino offers horrors both existential
and visceral." - M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the
Gifts, on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess "Dark and
fascinating . . . Not quite like anything I've ever read before. A
strange, compelling, late-night page-turner. It kept me reading way
past my bedtime." -T. Kingfisher, author of The Hollow Places?, on
The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess Also by Andy Marino: The
